Distasteful and unfunny, Tomcats is bad comedy at its worst. A clear waste of time and money (for viewer and filmmaker alike) the only consolations offered by this unfunny film are a nice sound track and, for the voyeur, tons of very beautiful bodies. ... Full Review

Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie V
Shannon Elizabeth, who has reliably stripped down in all of her previous work, keeps it all on here. Don't let that lesbian subplot go to waste like this entire film. ... Full Review

The Movie Boy
If the idea of watching a big, hospital-set chase scene for an enlarged, cancerous testicle that concludes in a cafeteria sounds potentially funny, then "Tomcats" may be worth a look. Sharing certain similarities with 2000's despicable "Whipped," "Tomcats" is a step above that picture, but shares the same downfall ... Full Review

Tomcats is exceptional This is a deeply bad movie, a seriously disordered version of boy-girl relationships, a movie more likely to make your skin crawl than make you laugh. Don't ask; it's as stupid as it is ugly. ... Full Review

It's a nice touch of inclusiveness that also suggests the Tomcats are more secure than they may realize. Raucously energetic and replete with a barrage of graphic sexual humor, "Tomcats" is scarcely the kind of picture expected to possess so much as an ounce of subtlety. ... Full Review

PopMatters
I am not above enjoying a good raunchy comedy.....these jokes were so unfunny and predictable while being offensive.....T omcats is not just a bad film, it is an actually evil one....Tomcats is a morally reprehensible film about bad people behaving badly.....Ya don't go to 'em for thoughtful scripts..... ...

Just ask Gregory Poirer , the writer/director of the obnoxious, irritating, and aggressively unfunny tripe-pile called Tomcats Benny Hill . To call it the worst film of 2001 would be pretty close to the mark. ... Full Review

USA TODAY
By filming at a dog-race clip and giving us at least one sympathetic character per chapter, Iarritu keeps us involved in at-times tune-outable material. When testicular cancer is a plot component of a rowdily coarse comedy, you know its filmmaker has thrown caution to some very ill winds. ... Full Review
